Action director Ching Siu-Tung helms this fantasy film based on an old Chinese legend about an herbalist who falls in love with a thousand-year-old White Snake disguised as a woman. Jet Li stars as a sorcerer who discovers her true identity and battles to save the man's soul.

The swamps hide many things - from tiny worlds of unknown creatures, to this monstrous denizen of the wetlands. The Catoblepas is a beast of legend, whose massive head is so heavy he can barely lift it. This is a good thing, for legend tells that if you meet the gaze of the beast, you could be slain instantly! But don't worry - it doesn't work in just a render!
